Quick Home Repairs When You Need It

You know how it is with neighbors. The guy next door to me complains non stop about my family making "too much noise." Look, our homes are connected, so what does he expect?

At least once a week, this guy knocks on our door complaining about some rattling noise he's supposedly hearing. "It's gotta be your kids playing or something. I hear it all hours of the night, and I'm sick of it. Keep it down."

I swear he's just one of those people who loves to complain. I have no idea what noise he's talking about, except for the odd creaky rattles coming from our pipes. But these are old houses — what does he expect?

I'm tired of this dude. It's gotten so bad that he's even called the cops on us. Sure, my kids like to play, but they aren't making any type of noise like he's allegedly hearing. I have great relationships with all of my other neighbors, so I know he's the problem.

Staying at home more over the last year did not help matters. You'd think he would cut us a little bit of slack, considering our house has turned into both an office and a school. But no, he's gotten even worse.

My wife has tried to talk me down, but I'm ready to hash it out with this guy once and for all. A few weeks ago, he knocked on our door complaining about the creaking noise yet again. This time, I'd had it.

I started yelling at him to get off our property, calling him crazy and saying the noises must be in his head. As we were embroiled in a screaming match on my lawn, my wife came running down the stairs yelling that one of our pipes in the attic had burst and that there was water flooding our entire second floor.

My neighbor looked at me with the smuggest look on his face, and suddenly it dawned on me — was this the noise he was referring to? I walked away and went inside to assess the damage. It was bad, and we needed help fast.

I wanted to wipe the smug look off his face, but I had to take care of this problem. I called HomeServe, our trusted water line home warranty provider. With a water line home warranty plan from HomeServe, you have access to a 24/7 repair hotline to take your call and schedule an appointment to get you the help you need. They will send a licensed technician right to your doorstep to handle your covered repair. So, they can handle my repair while I finish that screaming match with my neighbor...

Plans from HomeServe cover major home systems starting as low as $7.99 a month. They sent over a plumber right away who fixed the pipe and identified others that he thought needed repair. Having a plan from HomeServe has always given me peace of mind, but how quickly they were able to have someone on the scene was impressive. And the plumber did an awesome job.

"These things are ancient. Hasn't the noise been driving you nuts?" he said. My wife and I both looked at each other … This is what he had been talking about.

HomeServe Is Here To Give You Peace Of Mind About Repairs Around The House

When my husband and I were looking to purchase our first home, we fell in love with one that was built in the 80s. It was in a great school district, had a room that would be my painting studio, and it was a super short drive away from Main Street with our city's bustling arts scene. I was concerned that a home of that age was going to need repairs soon after we moved in. The realtor assured us that it wouldn't be a problem. And to help calm my nerves, she suggested we get a home warranty plan. If something went wrong with our appliances, plumbing, electricity, or HVAC, having a plan would allow us to just call the home warranty company and a technician would be sent to fix the covered repair. Sounded easy, but I was skeptical. But my husband did the research and said there were legit and reputable services out there. We ended up getting a plan from TotalHome Warranty by HomeServe. Thank god we did.

I'll admit it: I have a nervous disposition and, sometimes, if something goes wrong I end up feeling nervous, really fast. So, one morning, I noticed water pooling around the downstairs toilet, I sadly told my husband, " This is it. I knew this old house was too good to be true!" Calmly, he said "We have a home warranty plan. Call HomeServe." A plumber came over after work. He said the pipes leading up to the toilette might need to be replaced, and that he wouldn't know how big the job would be until he got a look under the bathroom floor. I trembled. My biggest fear was about to come true: I was going to repeat the experience of living in Brooklyn in my early 20s when I had to deal with an unreliable superintendent because he was my landlord's "guy."

HomeServe says they use trusted technicians and contractors that will take care of a job. On their website, HomeServe even guarantees that any covered repairs will be good for one year.

But what I feared was that being "in" a network meant that bad contractors would stick around forever because they were "trusted", exactly like my landlord's guy was, and that they'd milk the repairs, stretching them out for months on end.

With trepidation, I called and scheduled the repair. I chose to work from home, so I heard everything that was going on: the bathroom floor getting pulled up, the pipes coming out… it was a lot of noise! My worries were getting the best of me, so I had to ask the repair guy, "How bad is it?" But turns out, it wasn't bad at all! It was only the pipe directly connected to the toilet. He was able to replace it. It was covered by the home warranty plan, which turned out to be a really good thing.

For months our old house kept showing its age, but with a TotalHome Warranty plan from HomeServe, we were taken care of. When the heat went out in the middle of the night, we just called the 24/7 repair hotline and it got fixed. That small monthly payment ended up saving us money and kept our old home in good shape. We still have a plan from TotalHome Warranty by HomeServe to this day, and I'm grateful that they employ reliable contractors who I love to call "our guy"!

Thanks HomeServe.
